Default Can't remove a folder

Boot into safe mode, by pressing F8 just before the Windows XP scrolling
start-up screen appears.

What is the foldername?

hi,

I can't seem to remove a very annoying folder. it says
the following:

"cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk"

so, I tried using the command prompt to do it. I just
found the directory where the folder was being held.

and typed in :

rmdir FolderName

and the following happened:

The system cannot find the folder specified

how do I remove this sort of folder?

Hi

the folder name was Ekims Karate.

so, what do I do in safe mode in detail? and how do I
end up exiting from it after I finish?

Sorry, I guess I'm sorta unsure what will end up
happening. So, the more details I have the better off I
feel. Thanks for your help
